Brick Red Iron Oxide Colorant

With this iron oxide, you can easy tone your cold process, or melt & pour soaps true brick red. This version is just a HINT warmer in color than our standard "straight red" iron oxide. Simply add 1 teaspoon of this powder to a 5 pound batch of soap for either melt & pour or cold process. If you are working with cold process soap, you can mix this colorant directly into your lye solution once it has cooled between 80 and 100 degrees, or you can add directly after your initial blend of the lye water to the oils. Consider running your colorant thru a strainer if you add it to your oil / lye phase to avoid clumping.

You can use iron oxide to color other beauty care recipes -- we also sell a water soluble, liquid version of this colorant for ease of use.

Please note that our iron oxide are a high quality, lab produced, synthetic colorant. They are globally compliant to be used in cosmetics sold internationally.
